About Netflix:
Netflix is one of the world's leading streaming entertainment services with over 230 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.
The Compute team’s mission is to deliver a scalable, reliable, secure, agile, and efficient Compute Platform to provide innovative experiences for our members and content creators around the world. Our products power workloads across our Data Platforms, Stream Processing, Studio and Content, Encoding, Streaming, Content Delivery, Machine Learning, and Engineering Tooling. The team not only designs and develops our tier one systems, but also operates and supports them 24 by 7.
We are hiring for multiple roles across our teams which span problem domains including capacity management, traffic and failover, container execution across EC2 and our multi-tenant container platform, and on-host runtime execution and performance.
Container execution across EC2 and our multi-tenant Container Platform
We provide a consistent container execution environment across EC2 and Titus, our global multi-tenant kubernetes-based container platform which empowers engineers through useful abstractions, gives a consistent foundation for our broader platform, and increases the efficiency of our infrastructure.
On-host runtime execution and performance
Our data plane executes containers using novel approaches to isolation, resource management, developer features, and deep integrations with Netflix platform and AWS networking and security ecosystems. We ensure high performance for critical latency sensitive services and cost effective execution for preemptible workloads.
Capacity Management
With one of the world’s largest cloud footprints we strive to efficiently and reliably provide cloud resources for each of the thousands of microservices and batch workloads powering the Netflix experience, ensuring capacity is available when and where it is needed. EC2 reservations are centrally managed and transparently brokered across teams through an internal spot-market that minimizes cost and maximizes utilization.
Traffic and Failover
We design and operate the systems and services that quickly and reliably shift usage out of entire continents to recover from isolated outages in minutes, delivering the highly available experience that members expect from Netflix. We also steer traffic to influence the availability and latency of Netflix during normal operations.
Must-have skills & experiences
- Recent and proficient experience with Go, Java, Python, or other object-oriented programming languages
- Experience building & operating highly reliable distributed systems in a cloud environment
- Customer-focused curiosity, passion for technology, pragmatic thinking, ability to jump into an ambiguous area, and break down complex problems
- Demonstrated experience in improving the reliability and operational automation of complex, multi-tier systems
- You think freely and independently, and are ready to share your view
What you'll be doing in the role
- Building and operating production software at internet scale
- Balancing bias to action with the ability to make well-informed bets
- Collaborating closely with our key partners as well as engaging directly with engineering customers to understand their needs and improve their experience
- Understanding and solving business needs at scale with high-quality solutions
- Leaning into proactiveness and effective communication in pursuit of cross-functional alignment
You will be successful in the role if
- You thrive in ambiguity; complex and fuzzy requirements are more common than clearly defined customer expectations
- You take incremental steps toward solving big problems; test and learn approaches work better than heads-down development
- You are independent and self-driven, taking ownership of problems; progress is often self-directed by teams & individuals
- You have read about Netflix’s culture and think you would thrive here
Here are a few talks and posts from members of the teams to highlight the work we do:
- Consistent caching mechanisms in Titus Gateway
- Evolving Container Security With Linux User Namespaces
- Auto Scaling Production Services on Titus
- Evolving Regional Evacuations
Does this sound interesting? Or does this sound interesting-but-intimidating? Please don’t self-select out, let’s figure it out together. We’d love to talk to you!
